Sacandaga Ride

This ride starts tamely going south out of Lake George. They do not stay tame for long. Check out these curves on Luzerne Rd/ Glens Falls Mountain Rd (video). The curves are even better that they look on the map.

Now that your tires are warmed up, it is time to ride one of the Adirondack's best roads. North Shore Rd (CR4) (video) is one of the best twisty roads in the Adirondacks and deserves its Best Of New England status. There are great views of Great Sacandaga Lake and the twists never stop - great ride! BONE Road.

Now you can relax and let your heart recover as turn north on scenic Route 30 (BONE Road) and begin to climb. Route 30 follows the Sacandaga River and is quite scenic during this stretch. The is great views of Lake Pleasant in Speculator and of Indian Lake as Route 30 nears the junction with Route 28. Then a quick ride south on Route 28 to the town of North Creek.

From North Creek the route becomes a fantastic twisty loop that starts with a great twisty stretch of Route 28N. This is my favorite part of 28N with good pavement and great curves. The loop turns east for a great run on CR2 to North Hudson. There are some great twists at the western end and then good sweepers as you ride further east. Next is a short ride south on Route 9 past beautiful Schroon Lake. The loop finishes with one of my favorite Adirondacks twisties - CR24 (Hoffman Road) (video - starts at 2:20). This BONE Road has GREAT twists and elevation changes. What a blast! North Creek is a good place for lunch. Try Cafe Sarah.

The ride finishes with a scenic ride south on CR29, Route 28, and CR13. Then a final run on Route 418 which crosses the Hudson River and then curves along the banks of the Schroon River on the way to Route 35, Diamond Point, and Lake George.
